classof2010 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Cumnocks attitude here is the very reason the juniors are getting left behind if the fixtures are issued just get the game played It’s not cumnocks attitude just a couple of fans 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANKIEBILL Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 14 hours ago, bigecumnock said: As posted earlier sponsorship plays a huge part in financing our club, for Cumnock to lose potentially £1000 due to the game being on a Wednesday evening plus a decimated attendance well what do you think. Regarding the park being booked I never said at any time it was booked, in all probability it will be , only said the question should have been asked before posting fixtures and then all the inconvenience could have been avoided £1000 to sponsor a game at Townhead ? Can I introduce our commercial guy to someone at the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 5 hours ago, gordo said: My points is both teams shouldnt lose out. Its not lost revenue from a Talbot crowd point of view. But more to do with money lost through hospitality the social club etc. The Derby may have lost its edge etc due to cumnock not competing. But its still a big game and should be treated as such holding them midweek seems crazy to me. We have two free Saturdays in February make the cumnock game the priority Yes Cumnock have two free Saturdays, however you need the opposition to be free on those dates as well... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beenzon-Toste Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 You don't say why don't the play someone else on a Wednesday night say largs rossvale clydebank etc they all have floodlights You surely realise how stupid you're making Cumnock look. Talbot are already playing Glencairn, Clydebank, and Benburb on a Wednesday. But it's only Cumnock that's moaning.Dry your eyes mate. The game is on a Wednesday.

Troon Portland Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Personally, I’m looking forward to it.I would normally miss a game like this with our game being on, but a few of us will be heading down as neutrals & I’m sure the same will be true for guys at other clubs.They might miss a few folk with it being a weekday, but don’t underestimate the extras you’ll attract with it being midweek. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CopaMundials Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Cumnock v Talbot under the floodlights mid February. Sounds excellent and gives neutrals a chance to attend and savour the atmosphere and electricity of arguably the biggest derby in junior fitba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blobby Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Cumnock v Talbot under the floodlights mid February.

cumnockian Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 No idea why certain Cumnock fans on here have an issue wi a Wednesday game against Talbot. Gone are the days when these games attracted big crowds and wont return until we get competitive again. Regarding the park being block booked, am quite sure the agreement is in place that ALL block bookings will be subject to postponement, if the pitch is required for a game(am sure these bookings are cancelled at start of season and end of season for midweek games, so no sure why Debruary would be any different)To mention Killie v Rangers on the tele will hav an effect on the crowd...really?!?! Am no sure o many Cumnock/Talbot fans that would prioritise that fixture over the junior derby but I may be wrong.I for one look forward to a midweek derby under the floodlights and only hope there will be more to come. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chis Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 If Clubs want to be licensed this will be one of the effects with midweek games being posted and such fixtures will have to be fulfilled. Clubs complain about the Junior Grade not being professional but when we try to move on the complaints start. All associations above the Junior Grade in the pyramid have midweek fixtures so let's move on and try to become more professional and not stuck in the dark old days. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cumnockian Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 How much will we lose in sponsorship? I think the £1000 quoted will be way off, as thats based on nobody taking up sponsorship of the game. Can you confirm that Cumnock make £1000 profit from all games?

bigecumnock Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 For a Cumnock v Talbot game it will be £1000 minimum, who's going to sponsor a game on a Wednesday night ?How much will we lose in sponsorship?

If we are relying on that one saturday fixture to generate sponsorship income then we have severe problems in the way the club is being run 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigecumnock Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 If you attend Townhead on a Saturday you will see most if not all home games are sponsored, and that's down to the great job the commercial team are doing, it just happens to be the case that the Talbot game is the most attractive for sponsorsTime will tell.
